Planning Schmlanning
A million things running through my mind catching their multicolored post its along the way
Visited a karaoke joint a few days back - with the colleagues. For those of you who know me well you will know what my general sentiments on that activity is. To stay as far away as possible. I've been karaoke-ing a grand total of two times in my life before this and the experiences still haunt me. But i joined in for the want of not coming across as a spoilt sport. After all, it depends on the company you go with right? Right? So as hard as i tried to foil the plans, thanks to the gung ho-ness of my colleagues we found our selves in the little room for a good five hours, belting away tunes from generations before, current and well, the never heard of? From not wanting to go at all, i eventualy found myself gripping on to my own mic, croaking away to all sorts of hits. We're talking NKOTB, had to do the classic All By Myself, put on a diva show with continous Whitney Houstan hits, attempted a few rock numbers - Zombie was wild complete with jumping in heels and all!, and even had a duet on the popular Kuch Kuch Hota Hai theme song. Shame.. what shame? Was good fun. Hi, my name is Annu and i'm a converted karaoke hater. Till the next session!
A colleague tried his hand at Sister Golden Hair. And it transported me back to the time i took the spontanues trip down to Skudai with Robyn. Still a little shy then, i sat quietly in the corner as he and his housemates jammed the night away. One guy sang that song as he played the guitar - left hander playing the guitar with his right hand, totally sexy. And i guess he must have sang it pretty well too, considering that i still remember. Either that or we were all just stoned. But for a few minutes I was 2 or 3 years in reverse, and i was smiling to myself like a donkey. They tried they're very best to make me feel comfortable and i tried my very best not to come across as a lame ass. They succeeded, dont know about my end. But anyway, i left with a few new songs to download, a few new sets of clothes (thats how spontanous it was), my motorbike ride craving pacified for awhile, a very fun time and a teeny crush on one of the blokes. Haha.. if only he knew..
I really should do more spontanous stuff like that, more often then not they turn out to be the most memorable.
